Association for tho Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis as the most ad
vanced legislation in tho campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any stato in tho Upited

of hoalth concerning the prevention of
their disease, and thus become a men
ace to tho health of those with whom
they associate shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of tho courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
If such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of tho Institu
tion in which he is placed, he may "be
isolated or separated from other per
sons and restrained from leaving tho
institution." The law further pro
vides that all counties in the state
of vNew Jersey shall within six months
from April 1st make provision In spe
cial institutions for the caro of ail
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. Tho stato treasurer, will sub
sidize each county to the extent of
$3.00 a week for each person main
tained in theso Institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.
